Upgraded to WP 2.3.1
Today I decided I needed to have the ability to have tags on TravelingThoughts. I also decided that the best way to do so, instead of going out and getting another plugin that I had to keep an eye on, I just needed to upgrade from WP 2.2.something.from.long.ago to WP 2.3.1 and I did just that. But then, I had to upgrade a ton of plugin’s, not a problem because I was told which ones I needed to upgrade, with the exception of google_sitemap_generator, and as a result, I was getting this error:
SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID
But I’m smart, instead of posting a new thread on some forum, I googled my error, and whoa, lo and behold, other people had had this problem too, I just had to upgrade my plugin, and BAM! no more errors.
The other great thing I did was add tags to my layout, but then I was unsatisfied with what the links were returning. The use by default call
<?php the_tags(); ?>
didn’t do much more for me than return a link that re-directed peeps to a list of my entries with the same tags, that didn’t even come remotely close to what my expectations were.
Enter the Technorati Tags Plugin for WordPress 2.3, this plugin did exactly what I was expecting. My tags, when clicked on will go to Technorati and show all posts with the same tag, not just go to my site and show you all my posts with the tags I labeled them with.
I am now a happy camper.
